We’ve made some recent enhancements to the hub Home Page and the hub Join Page that will help administrators to further customize their hubs. Every hub in MemberHub has a corresponding public-facing Join Page. This page is where prospective members can learn about the group and either join right from that page or request to join. These pages are especially useful if you take advantage of putting a Hub Listing… read more →

One of the most important aspects of launching a new technology initiative is to consider how easy it is to get started. This is especially important for software platforms that involve many people. We understand that your decision to adopt an organization wide communication tool like MemberHub will affect you, your staff, group leaders and members. It’s important to have a plan and we are here to help you get… read more →

Undoubtedly, the church has always lagged behind the marketplace with regards to technology. Generally speaking, it could be years before a popular new service, product, or widget becomes widely used and implemented by churches. Is this by design or does the church need to “get with it” when it comes to technology? I recently caught up with John Saddington, aka Human3rror, who suggests that the gap between the rate at… read more →

A huge spiritual leader in my life once said that “Gratitude always bring you back.” At the time I remember thinking “wow, that’s deep, but not really deep”. I sort of dismissed it and didn’t spend much time thinking about it. But today I found out exactly what he meant. Today I dropped my car off a local mechanic, here in Raleigh. I’ve been to these guys three times before… read more →

The MemberHub team has deployed an enhancement that will save administrators time by empowering their members to create hubs which can easily be moved under their MemberHub organization. After you click on the New Hub button on Your Dashboard we ask if the hub should be affiliated with an organization. If you are not an administrator of a MemberHub organization, this option will default to “No, this is a stand-alone… read more →

Last week I put up a post on why nonprofit strategies often fail. The message wasn’t ground-breaking or all that entirely original. It was designed to get you asking yourself a lot of questions. My passion for great communication was refueled this morning when John Saddington challenged technology people to put communication first, technology second. We’ve had a quite a few posts here about “communication”, but they don’t get as much attention… read more →

I’m not quite special enough to have a one-word post, so I’ll elaborate a little bit. I am 100% certain that if the people in your organization do not learn how to effectively communicate, then your strategy will fail. So what does this mean? Here are few questions you can ask yourself. Are you communicating to your members? Do your members know your organization’s mission? Your purpose? If you have a… read more →

Your organization’s website is important. You’ve spent money on it. Your members spend time on your website. Visitors go there to learn about your organization. It’s your online brochure to the world. Who are you “Church XYZ”? What is your cause really about “Mr. Nonprofit Organization?” So when you decide to implement a private social network for your members where they can connect and communicate you might consider your website… read more →

Recently, I caught up with Kevin Joyce of Imagine Fellowship in San Antonio, Texas. I would call him the lead pastor but he actually goes by the title “Lead Life Changer”. And I would call Imagine Fellowship a church, but it’s more like A.A. And that’s what they want to do, duplicate the model that A.A. has leaned on since the 30’s to help people all over the country. A… read more →

I recently read the following: “America is the queen of trash. Every day in the U.S., we produce enough trash to equal the weight of the Empire State Building. We throw away 2.5 million plastic bottles every hour, produce enough styrofoam cups annually to circle the earth 436 times and trash enough office paper to build a 12-foot wall from Los Angeles to New York City.” This is just one of… read more →
